This is a slightly confusing song, but it reminds me of an earlier song--Pushing Drugs--on Close Calls With Brick Walls. It's a man that is being criticized because he likes to partake in some unnamed drugs. But unlike Pushing Drugs, in the song, the drug user is the good guy. The user is explaining why the accuser can't really know what it is like, and why he is wrong.
The first verse is just talking about life in general, and how long and perhaps grating it is. The second is about how good he feels when he is high. He also says, later on, that he can "see" or understand himself when he's high. The tough parts of life seem to make more sense.
Throughout the song, I get the feeling that the drug user is the son of the person criticizing him. You get the feeling he is overly critical, and kind of a jerk.
I think the father has had another negative experience with his wife (Or why you had to do it like you did to her). Which makes me feel like the mother in the situation ends up siding with the son/user (Now you see me where I stand, with you bride).
